Afterwards, the event started with the four characters appearing on stage and every team had to follow the movements of their respective character to get more excited. After they left, the teams were encouraged to dance to get more excited while water started to be sprayed from Warp Pipes on the stage and water shooters.

However, this was interrupted by Bowser Jr., who appeared on stage with a group of dancers wielding big inflated balls with his emblem; the teams had to unite into one and dance in order to stop Bowser Jr. After an attempt from the dancers to repel him, Mario and the others reappeared on stage to help, with some of the dancers swapping their water shooters for F.L.U.D.D.-like ones, after which Bowser Jr. left.
